Creatures

Famous quotes containing the word creatures:

“The philosopher is like a man fasting in the midst of universal intoxication. He alone perceives the illusion of which all creatures are the willing playthings; he is less duped than his neighbor by his own nature. He judges more sanely, he sees things as they are. It is in this that his liberty consists—in the ability to see clearly and soberly, in the power of mental record.”
—Henri-Frédéric Amiel (1821–1881)

“Few, if any, creatures are equally active all night.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“O curse of marriage,
That we can call these delicate creatures ours
And not their appetites!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
